Sooner or later, I'll be correct with Burbank. Perhaps not this time Maybe not even next time, but one day.

Lockheed, anyway.

StbdD is correct.:ok: Yes it is indeed Groom Lake, near the site of Watertown, Nevada, now known as "Area 51". Over to you. Oh, by the way Russell, I posted a photo of the Lockheed/Burbank/Bob Hope airport a few months ago.

Cheers evansb, I thought I recognized the ridgeline. Next up:

My apologies...I should keep a closer eye on the list of Aerodromes already listed. I was looking under B for Burbank. And B for Bob. And L for Lockheed. <G>

[edit] I see Bridgeport, Ct, was mentioned November 14 2007 already; I should have got this last one since I used to work there. <Oops> [/edit]

Looks like dash7fan carries the flag.

Thanks evansb

At the moment only pictures with too many pixels, so open house.

Tks

Oops, crossed with LFT I'll wait for the next one.

LFT 19th Jan 2008 21:15

And I crossed with you but I see you've deleted yours so here goes again -

No probs, LFT, none of us are in a hurry.

Now, what I see is in England: Dilapidated, the paint flaking off, everything falling apart. Nothing that a lick of paint couldn't cure.

Anyway, enough about the aeroplane; the Tower looks fine to me. Lordy knows where...my choice is somewhere in Devon. Or the Derby Dales.

[edit] and if it's the old Hus Bos Tower, I'll shoot myself[/edit]
